5th Test at Hobart - 14-19 Jan 2022

[Son Of Coco]

I just can't stand Burns and his wretched technique. Makes my eyes hurt.

Being realistic I guess they could go back to Sibley though not sure if him staying at home has pissed on the chips as far as he is concerned.

Burns' stance makes it look like he was part of the pre-game entertainment and his parachute failed to open.

Last Test England won in Australia was Khawaja's debut

Remember when I said this would be their best side for Australia -

Rory Burns
Zac Crawley
Dawid Malan
Joe Root (c)
Ben Stokes (vc)
Jonny Bairstow (wk)
Dan Lawrence
Ollie Robinson
Mark Wood
Broad/Woakes
Anderson/Leach

They should have tried that... Actually I hedged my bets a bit and included Buttler I think and did not make a call on Broad Vs Woakes. Would go with Lawrence and Broad everytime.

 

[Spikey]

Who do England fans on CW want as a keeper in the Windies?

Bairstow?
Foakes?
Buttler???!!
Someone else?

I was wondering if Billings could be a random chance, but that looks impossible now.

1st innings: Foakes
2nd innings: Billings
3rd innings: Bairstow
4th innings: Buttler

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Any solutions. What is this Josh Bohanon like?

 

[BoyBrumby]

Our worst Ashes collapse since a rain affected pitch at the Gabba in 1950, so Zaltzman has just said, but only our fourth worst overall since 2017. Yeesh.

 

[ashley bach]

this all came apart very quickly.

faster than you could say Jack Robins....

 

[Spikey]

Woakes is amazing

 

[TheJediBrah]

Carey catches that wow

 

[Gnske]

wtf i love Carey now

 

[morgieb]

Even Carey's taking catches now. Feel for England.

This team still loses 4-0 doesn't it.

 

[trundler]

That was a pretty CBF with this **** shot

 

[Burgey]

Only got the one wicket but this spell from Cummins straight after Green’s was scary good and scary fast. Gave them no let up.

that’s a top snare

 

[TheJediBrah]

Boland MOTS and, yes, Australian of the Year.

Shame Lawrence never got a game and shame about Archer and Stone.

 

[Spikey]

Woakes is amazing

Woakes clearly wanted this done tonight so I suppose it's good to see an English player actually succeed

 

[Gnske]

Now racism comes to the crease to save England one more time

 

[TheJediBrah]

Ollie Robinson has just swung things back England's way. Now favourites

 

[honestbharani]

Yeah... Direct blame to Root on Archer and he seems intent on breaking Robinson too for some reason.
